The Australian Voter: 50 Years of Change

In the 1960s, voting in Australia was class and party-based; today, environmentalism, evaluations of economic performance, and the personalities of the leaders dominate political debate. An authoritative guide to the minds of voters, this record assesses the implications of these changes vis-à-vis politics and speculates on the future of Australian voting behavior. This book also includes an analysis of the 2010 Federal election.
